Little.Girl. Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Plz help me guys, I am sure a lot of girls want to know this as well. If I am asking a guy out, should I email him or give him a phone call? Would a guy think a phone call is more sincere? Thanks you heaps.
Tony T Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Email is no place to conduct personal relationships. If you want somebody to go out with you, call them. Email is impersonal and gives the person the impression that you were just in front of your computer and decided to give asking them out a whirl. A phone call means you're quite serious and it's the very proper thing to do. It would be very nice for people to just forget there is such a thing as email when it comes to personal relationships. People existed quite nicely on the planet for millions of years without it. I asked a girl out one time via email and she reported me as a spammer! (haha)
TheSilentType Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I'd prefer a phone call. It's more personal to me and it shows that you are more invested in what you want.
Green Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I guess if your to shy to call you could send an email just make sure you send it far enough ahead of time to get a reply and all that. but phone calls are better
john1775 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Emails and IMs for that matter are too impersonal. I prefer phone calls myself.
Sally00 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Emails and IMs for that matter are too impersonal. I prefer phone calls myself. I love IMs. In my past 2 relationships, we started talking online. Then met in person, and hit it off. It's just another way of getting to know somebody. It shouldn't be looked at as inferior to other ways of communicating. Ya'll have to realize that the computer is part of everyday life now... just like the phone and TV.
lovestruck234 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Phone call for sure!! I agree that it does come across as more sincere and personal... You never know who REALLY could be reading an email...There are some pretty smart hackers out there... Anyway...if you feel like you'll get stressed out when you call, do what I did and write down a couple of things you could say to avoid the silences or the awkwardness. Works like a charm! Just don't read out stuff like a news reporter.... I'm sure you don't need that...just be confident and go for the kill!! He will have alot more respect for you knowing that you took the plunge to call. Confidence is HOT!!
Fun2BMe Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I'm an email girl and all the guys I've been with have had a problem with it. I always text or send emails and it bugs them so I know guys in general prefer a phone call, but I argue why don't they give in to emailing if that's what I prefer. In the end, they'll leave a vm and I'll respond with an email, unless I feel like talking.

Fun2BMe Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Why do you prefer that so much? Are you shy? Not confident? You don't like the directness? I just feel like it is more efficient. People tend to talk forever on the phone and it bugs, I hate to cut them off and say I have to go. In email, I communicate what I need to and that's it, in fact I prefer in-person conversation the most, then email and as a last resort telephone. Sometimes it does harm though. For example my bf is traveling. We spoke the first couple of nights, then Fri he left 4 messages, Sat he called 7 times, Sunday he called several times and said he will not be checking his email, I finally called him back and he thought I was avoiding him when he knows that if he emails, I'll respond in minutes so it was like he was asking for his calls not to get returned. We spoke again tonight but he let me off the hook so to speak, saying we'd catch up after he got back, knowing I was on the phone more as a favor. But then when he doesn't call I get upset so go figure. In fact I never answered or returned his calls Fri and Sat because he didn't call Thurs and I was upset about it.
